Wuzhuo City was stunned!
This matter was something he had never, ever considered. Even if it was just a hypothesis, he felt it would be a great blasphemy against himself and his brothers!
The bond between brothers back then was pure, without any impurities!
They could go through fire and water for each other!
If you wanted my head, take it!
Wuzhuo City had thought this way and would indeed do so. Back then, no matter who it was among the brothers, if they faced a life-and-death calamity: as long as he was with them, he would unhesitatingly sacrifice himself!
Everyone was like this!
Each brother had been so unwavering, countless times!
So, Wuzhuo City never doubted his brothers!
It was precisely because of this, that upon facing the boss's betrayal, he felt such profound sorrow and anger… After tens of thousands of years spent here, just to eliminate the Nine Calamity Sword Master! He would spare no effort to avenge his brothers!
But today, he was awakened by a single word from Yue Lingxue!
Did you ever doubt your boss before he betrayed you?
Did you trust him as much as you currently trust your other brothers?
Moreover, there should be a 'more' added before that!
In any organization, the boss is the core! If the boss does not invest, others will also not invest! The boss's contributions are always several times more than others!
Such a person is admirable, someone you can wholeheartedly follow, and pledge to support to the death!
In Wuzhuo City's heart, those dusty memories that he was unwilling to recollect, unwilling to mention, replayed vividly in his mind.
That time, the boss held onto the enemy tightly, while three or four people swung their blades at him. The boss's flesh and blood splattered, yet he yelled, "Juecheng! You go! If you don’t go, I won’t recognize you as my brother!"
That time, he fell victim to a conspiracy, severely injured and trapped in flames, yet the boss was also heavily wounded: but he rushed in from the outside and carried him out. At that time, he was as parched as a corpse. In his stupor, he felt he was drinking sweet spring water: but when he opened his eyes, he realized he was drinking the boss's blood.
The boss leaned against a large rock, cut open his wrist, and let him drink his blood.
When he woke up, the boss had already passed out, almost turned into a dried corpse himself…
That time, four brothers encountered a formidable enemy, the boss used a strategy to let the brothers retreat one by one: he stayed behind, but was captured by the enemy, who flayed his flesh bit by bit, demanding to know the brothers' whereabouts. Yet the boss never spoke… nearly turned into a mere skeleton…
That time…
So many memories.
So many emotions!
He had thought countless times, this life having such a boss was enough! At that time, even if he had to die for the boss a thousand times, he would willingly do so!
But in the end, all of this was destroyed by the boss's own hands!
The boss's words back then left Wuzhuo City feeling icy cold, his heart turned into a block of ice: "You bunch of fools, haha… I started using you from the moment you entered the lower three heavens! Even now, you are still being used by me! I use you to climb to the middle three heavens; to the upper three heavens!"
"I’ve been using you until now! Do you know how joyful I am? Do you know the thrill of watching a group of fools being deceived and wholeheartedly devoted to me?"
"Haha… Now that the Nine Heavens are unified, I have no rivals in this world! What do I need you for?"
"What value can you still provide for me?"
"Think about it, if you die, I kill you with my own hands, yet your descendants will still work for me with gratitude for a thousand years! And there won’t be any complaints! Hahaha…"
Wuzhuo City sat there in a daze, and the more he thought, the more chaotic his heart became.
"Do you doubt yourself?"
"Do you doubt your other brothers besides the boss?"
"Did you ever suspect him before he betrayed you?"
"What you contribute is far less than what your boss contributes, right? You won’t betray, so why would the boss, who invests the most, betray?"
